This is an instructional video for beginners using guided sharpening systems. The process I have explained here will get you started. I wrote down everything I struggled with when I began and could not find answers for, I made this video before I forgot what it was like as a beginner. Feel free to ask questions. I have only been sharpening for 2 years but I will be glad to share what I do know. Good luck!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am a knife collector, and finally, after all these years, I bought a knife sharpening system. Hapstone R2 with the upgraded vertical adjustment. I have a bunch of cheaper knives to practice on but could not find any introductions for beginners until i found this video. Best by far, i have seen. You should be sponsored by a few companies in this video, too.

I have an earlier version of the Hapstone. I’ve been sharpening for a few years now. I really appreciated the detailed instruction you provided in this video. While my knives come off sharp, I learned some basic mistakes I’ve been making. I should be able to take my sharpening skills to the next level by following your instructions. Thanks! 👍

Great video Knifey! I noticed the union bug on your spray bottle. Journeyman wireman here out of 26. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

F rating on venev stones is totally different than the standard grit rating. The f400 is around 1000 grit in ANSI. Great video this will be a big help for beginners.

@lag1791 Ай бұрын

Yes, I like on the Venev stones that they list the micron range too. Like, the 50/40 on the F240 is just that. It's much easier relate to everything in microns since there seems to be so many variations in grit ratings.

can you do a separate video on the line in the Bevel tip. I couldn't see the line in the Bevel, I'm not sure what to check for

@knifeymcknifeface7166 17 күн бұрын

Short answer no, I will not be making a video specifically for lines in the bevel. Videos take a lot of time. If you pay extra attention after each stone change you will catch it, it only happens then or if you did not tighten something down. Repetition is the key. Line up each stone in the same place every time and at exactly the same angle, not even one tenth of a degree difference. If you are not using a digital angle finder like the one in my video you will soon be a master at spotting lines because it will happen repeatedly.
